About Us

I feel very privileged to be the Headteacher for the West Bridgford School. It is a school with an excellent academic reputation; we have consistently been the highest performing school in the county for many years in a range of important measures and one of the best schools in the country.

Our consistent academic success owes a great deal to the dedication and hard work of our staff and students over a number of years. We are fortunate to have teachers who are all graduates in the subjects they teach and students who value education. The vast majority of our student are keen to achieve, resulting in a positive learning environment where success is celebrated. I do not think I can over-emphasise the positive contribution our student body makes to this school and I consider us fortunate to have a student population which can only be described as delightful.

Whilst we are an academically successful and oversubscribed school, our primary purpose is to serve all of the young people in our care. Our aim is to ensure that every child in our charge fulfils and exceeds their potential and we endeavour to do this irrespective of their ability or needs. The evidence suggests that we are very successful in this aim.

We do place great emphasis on our standards agenda; we have high expectations of our students in terms of their approach to learning, their conduce and behaviour, their uniform and their involvement in the everyday life of the school. We expect our students to conduce themselves at all time in a manner which benefits this school and it s heritage and we are justifiably proud of the many achievements of our students, be they on the sports field or in charity fundraising activities.
